190e anyone?

[squidmaster]

Got a great deal on a 190e already in Sssquid Blue [aka NautiqBlau (aka Nautical Blue)]

It's a 2.6 and has plenty of small stuff wrong with it-- blower motor screeches hideously at me every time it turns on, dings, was keyed, idles a little rough, front driver's tire rubs due to a dent in one of the fenders, interior is a little beat up, but overall it's in decent shape for a '92. 136k miles on a working odo.

Now I can wake up to a psuedo DTM race every morning between a couple e30's and a 190e, and a subaru legacy but let's just not mention that for now.

Blah blah blah, get to the pictures already!

How it looks now:

I can't see your pics, but I'm ona work computer, so who knows. I've got a minty one for sale too, book of receipts from the day it was sold.

[squidmaster]

Hmm, I hosted them through Min.us
Here's a link to the gallery http://min.us/mbeEEFJxCOddq8

Working for anyone else?

Had a 190E ages ago and still miss it. One of my all-time favorites. Congratulations on the find, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Sort yourself some European-spec headlights and an S-class grill and you'll be set!

Nice! Euro head lights are definitely on the plate for this thing. After fixing the running issues, blower motor, suspension, and wheels though.

Sounds good - love the color. Keep us updated.

[DaButt]

That thing looks beautiful!

[AWDBOB]

Looks killer, man!

[Bmwadkt]

Clean 190! Looks like you got most of the amg aero except the front bumper. You need to get that thing closer to the ground asap!

[henryki]

:up: nice. I like the look of E30_Pare's Benz. I don't know what it is but 190e's just give me a stiffy that can't be ignored.

FYI, pics work on my home computer. Work computer ftl. I need to get somebody to buy my 190e asap. Any recommendations on where to list it? Had some guy flake yesterday who said only 'I thought an older person owned it, based on the pictures'......

I dig that! except it is way too high and needs to be lowered ASAP. Sweet color. finally something different from the black/beige silver/white Mercedes are known for.

Thanks, all!

You would be surprised how few performance and suspension options there are for this car. Hell, there isn't even an after-market intake for this thing! (I'm personally a fan of stock air-induction boxes anyway)

Suspension options I've got
H&R Springs or bags.... that's it.

It needs new shocks asap though
